Liquid Submersion "Reactor" PC

[Eclecticos]

Every computer you’ve ever used has been limited by heat until now.
Submersion technology allows for the maximum, most reliable
and most sustainable component overclocking.

The Reactor is a liquid cooled PC, where all of the PCs internal
parts are completely submerged in a custom dielectric fluid.

Submersion Benefits:
1.Maximum performance as active components maintain low temperatures
2.Even highly over-clocked parts keep operating due to safe, non-stressing temperatures
3.Unmatched cooling capabilities, Core Coolant absorbs 10x more heat than air
and circulates through a Delphi-certified radiator at 2.5 gallons/minute
4.Long service life, components not subject to heat last longer
5.Superior gaming, you’ll stop before your computer does.

****, that would be the most epic custom scratchbuild that was ever build, but now, meh, all about the money, still wicked design

I had a fishtank PC idea that was based on the idea of waterproofing everything and sticking it in a tropical fishtank.

Thats awesome, except the price tag. Even with all the options set on either none or on the cheapest option it comes out to be at least $4,400. The computer I could build for that much would destroy that system. Even if I just decided to go with buying a retail computer, it would still probably out perform that setup. But then you most likely wouldn't be able to overclock and thats where it would probably beat you. Maybe. Four and a half grand could buy quite a killer system, even if it is stock clocked.

Still, pretty cool product! I just don't see too many people buying one, or even enough people to keep the product in production for very long.

I did the opposite, spec'd everything to the max, with 6 monitors :D comes to $13,919

maybe whe I win the lottery I'll pick one up for ****s and giggles :D

I wanted mine to have fish in it. It would be hard to pull off, but funny if you did.

I think I saw someone trying to rig up something like that...but have the hardware tank separated from the fish tank, with the fish tank in front, so when viewed from the front it doesnt appear separated and you can still see the hardware I think I saw it here, not sure though :?
